Details

The massive release of radioactive material at the Chernobyl accident in 1986 led to widespread radiation exposure, in particular to people evacuated from the settlements near the reactor and workers involved in the clean-up operations, and also to several millons living in contaminated regions in Russia, Belorus and Ukraine. This book provides current research on the Chernobyl disaster. Chapter One discusses the artistic treatment of Chernobyl where the problem of apophasia arises. Chapter Two reviews the general tendencies of dynamics of frequencies of congenital malformations in the territories polluted by radioactive Chernobyl radionuclides. Chapter Three discusses the impact of low doses of radiation. Chapter Four discusses the long term consequences of atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons and Chernobyl disaster on the territory of South Bohemia in Czech Republic. Chapter Five studies the stress adaptation of microscopic fungi from around the Chernobyl atomic energy station. The final chapter is a short commentary on the radiation and risk of hematological malignancies in the Chernobyl clean-up workers. (Imprint: Nova)
